Chapter 42: The Border
When Nangong Yi arrived in the palace, Nangong Hu sat on top with a displeased face, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids knelt below.
Nangong Yi met the prince Nangong Liu at the gate of the main hall, only to learn that there was an accident at the border.
Ziyue country is located in the center of the continent, south and east of the Black Sea, west is the Lying Mountain, there are countless spiritual energy on the mountain, the Divine Spirit Sect is the Zhenshan Sect of the Lying Mountain, and the north is the desert Gobi.
Such a central location gave Ziyue a very wealthy way to survive, whether it was business or cultivating immortals, and it made Ziyue rich at once.
But it is this geographical environment that has also brought some troubles to the Ziyue Kingdom, there are gods and spirits in the west to guard it, and there are many desert mazes in the north, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the coastal problems in the southeast are frequent.
There is a group of pirates roaming around in the Black Sea, they are very comfortable in the Ziyue Continent, and once the ships of the Ziyue Kingdom and other neighboring countries enter the Black Sea, they are always easy to be hijacked by this group of sea bandits.
There are few immortal cultivators in other countries and most of them have low spiritual power, only Ziyue Country has strong spiritual power, so they go to the Ziyue Kingdom every year to ask the cultivators of Ziyue Country to protect the safety of the ship.
What I didn't expect was that this time this group of pirates actually looted directly on the border of Ziyue Country, hijacked ships, killed people and destroyed mouths, and all the cultivators sent by the royal family were actually destroyed, and the surrounding ships of the Kaijin Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom sank directly and directly under the Black Sea.
This angered Nangong Hu, so he summoned the princes into the palace to discuss the solution.
When Nangong Hu's anger subsided, the two brothers Nangong Liu and Nangong Yi went in.
The rest of the princes have already arrived, the fourth prince Nangong Xue and the fifth prince Nangong Yan are twins, and they don't like politics and prefer wind and snow. One of them loves poetry and songs, and the other loves chess, calligraphy and painting, and has no interest in imperial power.
The remaining six princes, Nangong Min, were weak and sat in a wheelchair, his face was dull, and his lips were weak white.
said that the only one who can really succeed to the throne is none other than Nangong Yi and Nangong Liu.
"Since Yi'er and Liu'er are here, then you can take a look." Nangong Hu called his sons to him, and on the table was an oily map, on which was the sea area of the Black Sea and the border map of Ziyue Kingdom.
"This time, this group of pirates seems to have changed their leader, this leader is very familiar with the distribution of river basins on the Black Sea and his cultivation is not low, it should be at the level of the Spirit King."
"They meander down this road, straight to the border of Ziyue Country, along the way, they hijacked a lot of ships, large and small, and suffered countless losses. Nangong Hu pointed out the flow route of the pirates to them on the map, and said, "I plan to send Liu'er, what do you think?" ”
"If the son is willing to share his father's worries, he can lead the troops there." Nangong Liu said.
"Wait, father, my son's retainer thinks this is inappropriate." Nangong Yi suddenly spoke.
"Yi'er, tell me, what do you think?"
"Father, as far as Erchen knows, the cultivation of this pirate is already the Spirit King, but the cultivation of the eldest brother is now also the eighth order of the Spirit King, although it is not divided between up and down, but that group of pirates is very cunning and elusive, and Erchen is afraid that they will deliberately lead us forward and set up an ambush." Nangong Yi said.
"Father, the son thinks that the eighth brother's opinion is right."
